We were pleased to host both the Lieutenant Governor, Mike Kehoe, as well as Treasurer, Scott Fitzpatrick at the Garden of Eden home of Dan and Toni Houx. The fundraiser was hosted by several couples. The Missouri Cattlemen were on hand to provide a wonderful steak dinner as folks socialized with our elected officials. The Central Committee appreciates the leaders in our community who make fundraisers possible and to our elected for making it a priority to visit Johnson County.

Both spoke about the work they are doing to continue to optimize Missouri families lives through returning dollars to Missouri families as well as advocating for veterans and seniors.

Missouri State Treasurer Eric Schmitt and State Senator Denny Hoskins hosted a roundtable in Warrensburg at West-Central Independent Living Solutions (WILS) to improve the MO ABLE program.

Launched in 2017, MO ABLE accounts allow individuals with disabilities to save for long term needs while not harming their eligibility for federal means-tested benefits programs.

Currently there is a state tax penalty for rolling over funds from MOST 529 Savings Plans into MO ABLE accounts, even though federal law permits this rollover. Senate Bill 882 would allow MOST 529 account holders to transfer money from a MOST 529 account to a Missouri ABLE account without a tax penalty on money transferred.

This legislation will help expand the MO ABLE program which will allow more opportunity for those living with special needs in Missouri.

The Johnson County Republican Women’s club approved a new slate of officers on October 7th. Installation occurs at the November meeting, officially shifting the responsibilities for 2018.

Many thanks to The Houx Family for hosting our annual picnic September 17th, 2017. A wonderful meal was highlighted by updates from our office holders who spoke about the objectives of the next year and their eagerness to serve our community. Brandon Phelps also shared an update from the Boling family. We ask everyone to continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you to the Republican Women of Johnson County for providing dishes and to all of you who made it a point to share the delightful evening with us.
